Chapter 599 Reverse Harvesting
The Mercedes-Benz that Li Dongling was riding in stopped in front of an international hotel of a foreign brand in the provincial capital.

After getting off the car, Li Dongling looked at the hotel in front of him. Nowadays, the hotels and entertainment facilities in Hanxi are far inferior to those in big cities such as Yanjing and Shanghai. However, there are also many international hotels, high-end clubs, etc., and a considerable number of them are related to Dongling Hi-Tech.

Dongling Hi-Tech is located in Hanxi, so naturally its partners, supply chain manufacturers, distributors, etc. began to travel frequently to Hanxi, and some even moved their headquarters or production sites to Hanxi.

In addition to some companies that went directly to Pingyang, a considerable number of companies settled in the provincial capital.

They did not come here empty-handed, but brought large amounts of investment, technical talents, equipment, etc. to Hanxi. The demand for Hanxi's office buildings, residences, shopping malls, land, etc. increased exponentially.

Not to mention Pingyang in recent years, the prices of office buildings and production plants in the provincial capital have been rising rapidly, but the supply is still insufficient to meet the demand, causing the land prices to continue to soar.

At least, for Li Dongling, the current Pingyang and Hanxi make him feel a little unfamiliar compared to his previous life. In his previous life, Hanxi did not have so many international hotels, clubs, and high-end residential areas.

If you have not been here for a while and come back here again, you will find that the familiar roads have changed, and the original old residential buildings have been transformed into high-rise buildings.

After entering the hotel, the hotel lobby manager who had been waiting there for a long time came forward and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang is waiting for you in the bowling room!"

For a lobby manager of this level, he must be familiar with all the famous figures in Hanxi, not to mention someone of Li Dongling's status in Hanxi.

Li Dongling listened to the lobby manager's words, looked at him, and asked casually, "Is your hotel invested by Goldman Sachs?"

The hotel lobby manager had no intention of hiding anything. After all, these were not secrets.

"Our hotel's headquarters in America has received joint investment from Goldman Sachs and the family of the founder of Walmart. Now Goldman Sachs is a member of our hotel's board of directors!"

When talking about this, the hotel lobby manager had a look of pride on his face. Since they came to the provincial capital of Hanxi, their hotel has been the benchmark and ceiling for hotels in Hanxi Province.

The fact that this hotel has received investment from Goldman Sachs means that it is not too late for it to go public. After all, Goldman Sachs' investments always promise huge returns.

After hearing this, Li Dongling just nodded, but in his heart, he became even more vigilant against Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs's hands are very long!
We walked all the way to the bowling alley of the hotel. This foreign brand hotel can be said to be the ceiling of Hanxi hotels now, and it is definitely well-founded.

In addition to accommodation, the hotel's restaurant also uses the banner of French chefs and has invited several French chefs to cook. It's hard to say how the food tastes, but it's very high-end.

Nowadays, many people in Hanxi, especially young men and women, come to stay and eat in this hotel, regarding it as a symbol of identity and status. If we must make a comparison, it is just like the young people in Yanjing back then who were chasing after Lao Mo's restaurant. The two are essentially the same.

In addition to luxurious suites and French restaurants, the hotel is also equipped with facilities such as a gym, cafe, indoor swimming pool, and bowling alley.

When Li Dongling walked over, he saw the Goldman Sachs representative Zhang Ailun throwing a bowling ball.

"Mr. Li!"

Seeing Li Dongling, Zhang Ailun smiled and said to Li Dongling, "Would you like to play a few games?"

Li Dongling agreed, picked up a bowling ball and threw it out, "Mr. Zhang, are you used to it in Hanxi?"

"Of course!"

Zhang Ailun's Mandarin has improved a lot, and his accent is not so obvious now. "When I was in America, my parents often cooked mainland Chinese food for me. They were authentic mainland Chinese food, not those modified mainland Chinese food!"

When domestic dishes arrive in America, they are basically changed to cater to local tastes. As a country that loves sugar, domestic dishes in America are basically made sweeter if they want to sell well.

After throwing a few bowling balls, Zhang Ailun said to Li Dongling with a look of regret, "Mr. Li, the Tianji chip is really a surprise. If Dongxin Semiconductor could reveal the news earlier, Goldman Sachs would definitely be willing to make more investments, including investing in the parent company of Dongxin Hanxi Chip Factory!"

The equity of Dongxin Semiconductor and Dongxin Hanxi Chip Factory are now separate. The former is the parent company of the latter. Goldman Sachs and Walden International have both invested in the latter.

"Before it is developed, no one can guarantee that the secret will be successfully developed!"

Li Dongling said to Zhang Ailun, with a tone that showed that he was considering the investors of Goldman Sachs, fearing that they would take advantage, no, fearing that they would suffer a loss... "I don't know if Dongxin Semiconductor has prepared new projects and plans. Samsung, LG, Hynix and Japanese manufacturers are all expanding production capacity, launching new chip R&D projects, or carrying out acquisition plans.

Goldman Sachs is also willing to lend a helping hand to Dongxin and help it find more US dollar loans from American banks, including listing on NASDAQ in the future. Goldman Sachs is willing to help! "

Zhang Ailun also looked very worried about Dongxin. He was afraid that Dongxin didn't have enough money, so he wanted to help Dongxin borrow more dollars from the Bank of America.

Now, whether it is domestic or Korean or Japanese companies, of course they all want to borrow more US dollars, use these dollars to acquire their peers, and expand production capacity frantically. The most typical examples are Korean Samsung, Daewoo and other companies.

Zhang Ailun even directly brought out the big pie that Goldman Sachs was offering for Dongxin Semiconductor to be listed on the Nasdaq!
If I didn't know that Soros would come to Southeast Asia to reap the profits next year, I would have been "touched" by Zhang Ailun's concern for Doxin Semiconductor after hearing what Zhang Ailun said.

But if it is a big deal and they borrow dollars from America, and if they cannot pay back those dollars next year, will Dongxin and even Dongling Hi-Tech have to sell themselves to pay off their debts like those Korean companies like Samsung, Daewoo, and LG?
Li Dongling took a few deep looks at Zhang Ailun in front of him, and finally, seeing Zhang Ailun's slightly regretful and disappointed look, he slowly shook his head.

"At present, Dongxin Semiconductor does not have many plans. It is not too late to make a decision after the Dongxin Hanxi chip factory goes into production!"

Li Dongling said, "The Tianji chip has just been developed. Whether it can be accepted by the market and users, and how much sales it will have in the future, are still unknown!"

"but……"

After Li Dongling shirked Goldman Sachs' proposal to help Dongxin borrow money from America, he changed the subject and said, "Next year, Dongling Hi-Tech Harbor City Company and Cyberport Technology Company may have some cooperation projects. I hope Goldman Sachs can lend a hand!"

Although he rejected Goldman Sachs' "good intentions", Li Dongling did not give up outright. Instead, he gave Zhang Ailun and Goldman Sachs new "hope" and guided Goldman Sachs towards the acquisition of Cyberport and Harbour City Telecom.

If Goldman Sachs wants to reap the profits from Dongling Hi-Tech, then similarly, Dongling Hi-Tech can also reap the profits from Goldman Sachs in return. It all depends on who is more experienced!

Although Wall Street investment banks, led by Goldman Sachs, have reaped the benefits of countless companies around the world, Wall Street has also been reaped in reverse.

Including Luckin Coffee, China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom, all of them have made huge profits from foreign stocks in the American stock market. One of them is using foreigners' money to treat Chinese people to coffee.

The other three operators raised more than 20 billion US dollars in markets such as America, and then brought the money back to their home countries to build base stations and lay optical fiber. Even remote mountainous and rural areas have signal towers and networks. This kind of infrastructure is beyond the reach of even America.

Except for China Mobile, which has had an outstanding stock price performance in America, the stock prices of the other two companies have remained unchanged for 20 years, always hovering on the edge of falling below the issue price.

That is to say, the American investment institutions and investors who subscribed to the stocks of these two companies have basically not made their money back in the past 20 years. The dividends paid by the three major operators in America to the Wall Street investment institutions every year are also negative after 20 years compared to the money invested by Wall Street institutions!

Luckin Coffee and the three major domestic telecom companies can reap the leeks of Wall Street, so why can’t Dongling Hi-Tech do the same.

Zhang Ailun painted a big pie for Li Dongling, so Li Dongling has to reciprocate and paint him a super big pie in the same pie. Once Cyberport acquires Hong Kong City Telecom and hypes up the Internet concept and drives up the stock price, it depends on whether Goldman Sachs will fall into the trap!

After hearing what Li Dongling said, Zhang Ailun pondered for a moment. Li Dongling's mention of Cyberport in Hong Kong was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations. Before he was sent here by Goldman Sachs, he mainly studied Dongling Hi-Tech's business in the mainland, and was not very familiar with Dongling Hi-Tech's business in Hong Kong and overseas.

However, under Li Dongling's gaze, Zhang Ailun still threw the bowling ball in his hand with force, then raised his head, "Of course, I said that Goldman Sachs hopes to have more cooperation with Dongling Hi-Tech!"

After hearing this, Li Dongling nodded, shook hands with Zhang Ailun, politely declined his invitation to dinner, and left.

After watching Li Dongling leave, Zhang Ailun stayed in the bowling alley for a few minutes before walking towards the restaurant of the International Hotel.

Arriving at a window in the restaurant, Zhang Ailun stood next to a middle-aged man who was having a meal, looking very respectful.

The man who was slowly cutting the steak was a typical Wall Street elite, wearing a well-ironed suit and was very tall. Although he was only middle-aged, his hair was already gray and his eyes were deep. Just sitting there, he had a sense of courage and imposing aura. In front of the man, Zhang Ailun's aura was obviously not as good as his.

"Mr. Thorntons, the head of Dongling Hi-Tech, Li Dongling, did not accept my proposal and is unwilling to let Dongxin Semiconductor borrow more US dollars from America!" Zhang Ailun said with his head down.

After saying this, Zhang Ailun did not wait for a response, but only heard the sound of steak being chewed. To Zhang Ailun's ears, this sound was like the grassland overlord lion gnawing on its prey, which made his heart tighten.
